Thanks Maverick2608. It is probably the only thing that can be done but for me it is a bit scary to keep large amount abroad if there is not a clear mechanism to recover it in case of death.

I had to move my account from IBKR to IBUK because I relocated to Europe. How do you protect your wife/loved ones and make sure they can recover the funds from your account easily if something happen to you? There is no transfer on death option for ibuk accounts.

I agree with that, it was nice to be able to scan quickly the last posts..

Thanks..

Hi Atticus, My question was more in general term; is it better to short put systematically on spx like the PUT index does or short VIX futures systematically. PUT index is making around 10% a year on average, I am wondering if shorting VIX futures has the same kind of return and same...

I, as well, would like to know when a condor is preferable to a butterfly? I would think that both benefit from decreasing IV and low skew. what are the other considerations? Never traded a condor

Thanks Piezoe, I am just trying to determine if there is more edge in shorting SPX put or VIX futures but you are right, after that, I have to see how to hedge the tail or limit exposure. Regards
